I am a human being. I have seen
the visions of wisdom but you have
dismissed its meaning as a fallacy.
I have suffered your reprisals, when my logic
and reasons directed
my actions, imprisoning my time against my will.
I have left you pouring me your teachings of love,
yet my cup of my soul is
always near.
I have desired your knowledge only to find your
concepts and values
inadequate and confusing, because I see you destroying
human minds
and human bodies and living things not of your
own kind.
You ask me who am I
I don’t know.
But I am going to find out.
-----------------------------------------------
What a privilege
It is to be me
Unique, special and free
So many trapped inside
Shackles of marriages
Forced to obey, forced to behave
How hard they try not to
Step out of line
For the consequences they have to face
Would be one of complete confidentiality
Here I stand looking, looking in the eyes of sorrow
How hard they try to hide
Hide the pain, hide the shame
They wish for better lives
But they’re locked inside invisible gates
Why are they living this way
These people, Angels
Who are responsible for life
They should be treated with the utmost respect
Instead they’re treated with none
-----------------------------------------------
Sometimes I wonder why you did
it
To me
You pretend to love me
Instead it was your goal
To destroy me
What don’t I have that she has
After all this time, You’re still on my mind
All day every day
I gave you all of me
And you just took advantage of my love
My trust
You took something that I can never
Replace nor get back
You took my innocence
Took it as if it belonged to you
